Creating an Effective Utility Rate Change Outreach Strategy That Builds Customer Awareness and Confidence in the Rate-setting Process
Power Lunch Webinar
For public-sector agencies, the rate-setting process often starts years in advance and raising rates is crucial to the overall viability of the utility.

Therefore, it’s essential for utilities to proactively communicate the value of their services early and often to gain acceptance with customers, community members and policymakers.
